Fertility Fact or Fiction?

As an infertility specialist, the first, and sometimes hardest, thing Dr. Joshua Klein, of the Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, has to accomplish is to assess a couple's understanding of how the whole getting pregnant thing - naturally or otherwise - works.
